Adjusting the Handle Neutral
If motion control levers do not align, or move easily into
the console notch, adjustment is required. Adjust each
lever, spring and rod separately.
1. Stop engine, remove ignition key and tilt seat
forward.
2. Begin with either the left or right motion control
lever. Move lever to the neutral (but not locked)
position and pull lever back until the clevis pin (on
arm below pivot shaft) contacts the end of the slot
(just beginning to put pressure on spring) (Figure
76).

3. Check where lever is relative to notch in console
(should be centered allowing lever to pivot
outward to the neutral lock position) (Figure 76).
4. If adjustment is needed, loosen the nut against the
yoke.
5. Apply slight rearward pressure on the motion
control lever, turn the head of the adjustment bolt
in the appropriate direction until lever is centered
in neutral lock position (keeping rearward
pressure on the lever 40 will keep the pin at the
end of the slot and allow the adjustment bolt to
move the lever to the appropriate position).
6. Tighten nut and jam nut.
Repeat on opposite side of unit.
